Student pin-up
Stackable Graduate Certificates

Stackable graduate certificates are designed to provide students with opportunities to pursue specific interests and develop targeted skill sets in their graduate studies. Open to all UT Austin graduate students, each of these certificates is transcriptable and will require only three classes to complete. Given the existing flexibility of the School of Architecture’s degree requirements, students could complete one or even two certificates and still graduate on time.
